You will miss the springer more than any other bike you've ever owned, bank on it.

I also want a SG. I have a SG fund set up out of my pay check. When I have cash she will be mine but the fatboy will stay.

I spent many agony filled hours debating the pros & cons of the Fat Boy vs the Street Glide, before I finally went with the Fatty. I've since had the opportunity to test ride the SG at a couple of ride days, and am pretty sure that when it comes time to get a new bike (or when thespousal unitdemands the keys to the Fat Boy for herself!!), I'll be joining you on the dark side. It might be considered an 'old man's' bike by some...but what a COOL one!! Have fun, ride safe.
